ATLANTA HAWKS
Who They Ended Up With: PF/C Shelden Williams, PF Solomon Jones
Comments: When the Hawks’ pick was made and they kept their promise to draft Williams, I thought, what a bunch of dummies!!!  They seriously needed a point guard because Tyronn Lue wasn’t cutting it and Joe Johnson was playing out of position.  However, soon enough, they signed Speedy Claxton to run their offense and I felt better about the Hawks.  Backing up Chris Paul in New Orleans, and sometimes playing alongside him, Claxton showed that he had starter ability and could probably get the job done somewhere else.  Well, he’s getting his chance.  Back to Williams - it was nothing against him, in particular, but the Hawks need a point.  But, he should be a low-post force once he gets accumulated playing down with the trees on the NBA level.  He’s a nice complement with the jumping jack athletes such as Josh Smith and Marvin Williams.
Final Grade: B

CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
Who They Ended Up With: SF Adam Morrison, C Ryan Hollins
Comments: Michael Jordan’s first big move as part-owner of the Bobcats came on draft night and just like his playing days, he hit the big shot in drafting Morrison AKA “The Stache.”  Morrison will bring some much needed scoring punch for the Bobcats who are shaping up to be a good team, if Emeka Okafor can stay healthy, Raymond Felton continues to grow, and Gerald Wallace continues his trend of getting better and better.  Morrison can shoot from the outside, as well as drive to the basket, and while he may look very UN-athletic, he gets his shot off and they go in.  He’ll probably be a liability on defense, but with Wallace and Okafor ready to swat shots away, it may not be as big of a deal.  But only if Morrison shows the ability to put the ball in the basket like he did in college.  He should be able to do so as he, along with Brandon Roy, were the most NBA-ready players in this draft, but “The Stache” is pretty much untouchable when it comes to competitiveness.  Hollins should be a solid shot-blocker off the bench, but other than that, anything else he gives would be gravy.
Final Grade: A

MIAMI HEAT
Who They Ended Up With: ZERO PICKS
Comments: This is a veteran club that should return most of the veterans back.  If not, surely the Heat will get another old dude to fill any needs.  The Heat are built to win again and since they got Alonzo Mourning, Gary Payton, and Antoine Walker their rings, I think it’s time for them to get three other vets that don’t have a ring - John Stockton, Karl Malone, and my favorite player of all time, Charles Barkley.  Okay, so there’s no way that happens, but a boy can dream, right?
Final Grade: NA

ORLANDO MAGIC
Who They Ended Up With: SG J.J. Redick, PF/C James Augustine
Comments: Could Redick have scripted this any better?  I think not.  Redick, rumored to go as high as eighth overall to the Rockets, will fit in nicely in Orlando.  Love him or hate him, Redick can flat out shoot the rock and with Dwight Howard down low ready to pass the ball back out on a double team and Jameer Nelson penetrating and passing the ball out to him, all Redick has to do is spot up and shoot.  And that’ll be easy for him to do.  There are some questions about Redick’s back, but it didn’t seem bad enough to scare the Magic off.  Plus, take into account Redick’s durability in college and this might be a non-issue… afterall, he’s just going to be shooting jumpers all night long. 
Final Grade: B+

WASHINGTON WIZARDS
Who They Ended Up With: SF/PF Oleksiy Pecherov, SF/PF Vladimir Veremeenko
Comments: Both are Russian big men that can shoot the ball from outside.  Both are soft on the inside, much like a roll of Charmin.  Pecherov at 18th overall was a stretch with so many more talented players out there at that point.  Ernie Grunfeld is usually better than this and I’m tempted to give him a benefit of the doubt, but I just can’t.  Sorry, Ernie.  But at least you didn’t take Renaldo Balkman with your pick.
Final Grade: D
